So why would Marjory want to go to Cuba?
Cuba had embraced industrialized agriculture more than any other Latin American country.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990, overnight Cuba lost most its fuel imports, pesticides, fertilizers, and tractors. In the first year, the economy plummeted by 60%, buses stopped running, the lights went out, and the average Cuban lost 20 pounds.
Instead of offering help, the US further tightened it’s embargo.
By necessity, Cuba undertook the largest conversion from conventional to organic food production ever attempted by humanity.
Hunger became overbearing. The social structure turned upside down as lawyers and doctors turned to their gardeners to learn how grow food. Were there outbreaks of violence? Did people hoard ahead of time? What do Cubans who lived through it have to say to Americans preparing for collapse?
